There is no question about the POW scene in Deer Hunter. No Country for Old Men was filled w/tension.
For me, it's Sophie's Choice.

Cellar scene at the end of Silence of the Lambs
Everything pales in comparison to the ending scenes of Audition. The intensity is beyond belief and it is horrifying.
Adding to what I just said- you are right, Irreversible is a really rough watch. And Oldboy is equally tough- but Audition way over one-ups them both.
Two that I haven't seen mentioned:
Bear mauling scene in The Revenant
Kidnapping and attempted rescue scene at end of The Kingdom where Jason Bateman's character is kidnapped and in danger of execution
Ah, hell, had to add this. And let me say, you will never see a burlap bag the same way any more.

You have seen the film, haven't you? Perhaps not. A sex scene isn't necessarily a rape scene - except in your mind. If she had protested, the scene would have been stopped. It wasn't - if you had seen the film (as millions of others did), which had that scene included. She also came back to shoot the rest of the movie with her alleged "rapist", and didn't make any claim to objecting to what happened till years later. But don't let that get in the road of your gender-based politics.

Ok. I like all of the movies mentioned, but I’m going to take a different tack.
In the new Mr Rodgers movie, there is a scene in a restaurant where Rodgers asks the main character (who has serious issues with his father) to take a minute of silence to contemplate all the people in his life who made him who he is.
The scene literally lasts for a minute and is nearly dead silent and you can see every emotion imaginable cross the faces of the actors.
My wife and I and another friend watched the movie last week and we all walked out thinking it was one of the most intense movies we’d ever seen.
That was very well done!
I think we can all agree....

That did not result in protest, objection or complaint at the time and saw her continue to act in the film alongside her now alleged "rapist". If it was "intense" you seem to think so more than she did at the time.
I think you misunderstood. I was not commenting on the other movie or your take on it.
I was saying that the original version of the movie I SPIT ON YOUR GRAVE has a pretty intense rape scene. It seems to be over and then starts up again. I was surprised it was allowed to be released.
My misunderstanding. I thought the comment, "I spit on your grave" was an affectionate greeting and not a reference to a movie with that name. I am not familiar with it.

I thought the thread was about "the most intense movie scenes", not the activities of the Harvey Weinstein's, Roman Polanski's (and now apparently Bertolucci) etc in the movie business.
Lone Survivor- first battle scene
Babel- drug disco scene
The Abyss- Ed Harris drowning scene***
Goodfellas- I make you laugh scene
The Road- cellar scene
Beasts of the Southern Wild- meeting her mother scene

Those "intense" movie scenes are fakes. Mostly GCI. The Last Tango rape scene was real. So, post an intense movie scene that was also real.

As far as I'm aware, everyone knew what was planned in I Spit On Your Grave, including the actress.
It is well documented that the actress in Last Tango In Paris did NOT know what was going to happen. Regardless of whether she continued filming, or protested, or stayed silent for years, that makes it assault, no? Sexual activity without informed consent seems the definition of assault.
I understand she was a young actress at the start of her career. She may, understandably, not have had the guts to stop the filming of an expensive film, with a legendary, A-list actor, even momentarily - if a coworker was doing something objectionable, and the boss said nothing, you might not say anything, no? Or, if feel you always would, I invite you to place yourselves in the shoes of a young worker, perhaps with less confidence than you.
And she did not speak out for a while ... well, lots didn't. They didn't think they would be believed, until recently.
I invite you to respond to my points, rather than just mud-slinging. I do not agree with you, but I have tried to engage in a difficult topic. You may just be trolling, but if not ... do you really not see any of the points above? Or how the majority would likely agree with them?
If what happened in Last Tango was a sexual assault - and it may have been - it requires that the person involved did not consent to it, and what indication would there be of that except a reaction (how about, "no"?) or response of protest or complaint? There wasn't. As I said, she continued with the scene and the movie and associating with her co-star and director. From that, consent may be inferred. You say she may have felt under career pressure but that tends to place in perspective how seriously or otherwise she viewed what happened. I can well understand her subsequent view of what occurred but without a reaction or protest at the time, and even shortly after, the necessary ingredients of a sexual assault aren't established. That is not a defence of Bertolucci and Brando, whose actions would tend to stretch the definition of "method" acting (if you'll pardon the expression) beyond its typically understood limits.

Bathtub scene in Training Day

The bathtub scene in Training Day was my first thought.
Also the scene in Platoon when Charlie Sheen is on guard duty at night in the jungle in Vietnam. He's fallen asleep and is suddenly awakened by a group of Viet Cong moving stealthily past the place where he's hiding. That scene seemed so real.
Can't leave out the scene in Psycho when Martin Balsam creeps down the stairs into the basement and spins the chair with someone sitting in it. Their back is turned towards him. It turns out to be the corpse of Norman Bate's mother. The solitary light bulb hanging from the ceiling starts swinging when he hits hit with his hand. The swinging light makes Mother's hollow face seem alive. A piercing sound accompanies the swinging light. This is my #1 choice.
Hey, Old Guy 73. You must have watched it only once, back when it came out in 1960. Martin Balsam was creeping up the stairs to the 2nd floor when he was sliced and diced. The sister of the woman killed, played by Vera Miles, was the one that found "Mother".

You're right, but you know the scene I'm talking about. Most people remember the "shower scene," I remember the scene when we first see "Mother." The swinging light and the terrifying music.
